Trading Academy - Episode 2: FTSE Fundamentals

Trading Academy is a new series from City Index that puts 8 candidates against each other and against the market in a bid to become a successful trader and take the $100,000 prize. In this episode the traders learn how to trade the FTSE 100 - a key stock index in the UK. They must learn to master their emotions while also trying to figure out a trading strategy on the fly. Each of the traders finds their own approach - some with success, some with much less success. The best lesson of this episode is about the psychological aspects; seeing in action some of the mistakes they make, and learning how to improve your own trading.
